Re: Need a realistic Statics Problem
As to the problem Ken presented:
I haven't taken statics, so I don't know nothin' 'bout these "reaction forces" sanddrag talks of. But, I think I have an idea. The only torque that the red bars see is at the pivot between it and the black piece. Moving the blue box doesn't change this torque. I think that the ratio of the forces between each individual red bar and the L will change, but I have a feeling that the net torque that both bars see will remain constant.
